My 70 year old husband wiht CAD, A-Fib and mitral valve problems tried to waterski on the weekend.  He was dizzy at night -thought it was boat action.  Has he damaged his heart?

Does he have permission to participate in activities like this?  I haven't waterskied in years, but if memory serves, it's not light exercise.  The Afib itself makes me dizzy, plus 3 of my medications.  I agree with bbxx, it would be a good thing to see his doctor and get a clear idea of what's ok and what's not in the way of exercise.

First of all, 70 years old just learning to water ski? I am  impressed!
Since he has heart issues, he really should be seen.
